I’m so excited to share about another new Stroke Support Group in Louisville! Through many conversations with stroke survivors, I have learned just how important support groups can be to individuals walking the journey of life after stroke. If you live in a different part of the city or state, please email Dana at [email protected]. I would be happy to help you find one close to where you live.

Congratulations to one of the Kentuckiana Stroke Association’s newest board members, Kyle Thrasher! 🎉 we are very happy for you and know you’ll be great in your new role!

We are excited to officially introduce Kyle Thrasher as the new CEO of Frazier Rehab Hospital – Brownsboro!

Kyle has been part of the Frazier Brownsboro story from the very beginning. As a member of the original leadership team and our Director of Therapy and Case Management since July 2023, he has played a key role in building the culture, clinical excellence, and patient-centered care that define Frazier Brownsboro today.

A Southern Indiana native, Kyle earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Bellarmine University in 2008 and brings 18 years of acute rehabilitation experience, including 14 years in rehab leadership throughout the Louisville and Southern Indiana region.

Those who know Kyle know his passion for rehabilitation, his dedication to patients and families, and his commitment to supporting our team. His leadership has helped countless patients on their recovery journeys, and we are thrilled to see him step into this new role.

When he's not at the hospital, Kyle enjoys spending time with his wife, Miranda, and their three children.

Please join us in congratulating Kyle on this exciting new chapter! We look forward to all that lies ahead under his leadership.
